ALERT El Salvador police scented something was not quite right before they swooped on a residential zone north of the El Salvador capital and seized 24 tonnes of contraband cheese.

Police arrested 21 people in the early morning operation in San Juan Opico, 40km north of San Salvador, where they seized the cheese smuggled into this Central American country from Nicaragua.
Among those arrested were Salvadorans, Nicaraguans and Guatemalans, according to customs director Gustavo Villatoro.

The cheese smuggling gang had grated the authorities by evading taxes on their smuggled mountain. A police spokesman said two refrigerated trucks had also been smoked out by officers and confiscated in the raid.
